A Screw Conveyor (also called an auger conveyor) is a mechanical transport system used to move materials like grains, powders, pellets, and semi-solid substances through a rotating screw shaft inside a tube or trough.
\\n
\\nWorking Principle\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n
Rotating Screw Shaft: As the shaft rotates, the screw blade pushes the material forward.
\\n
\\n
\\n
Inclination or Horizontal Movement: The conveyor can be set at various angles depending on the application.
\\n
\\n
\\n
Controlled Discharge: Material can be discharged at specific points along the conveyor.
